Fourth /wvenue Bids., Seattle, Wash. L PUBLICITY "Territorial Commissioner of Health C. Earl Al- brecht, now in Washington in an attempt to see that Congress gives the Office of Indian Affairs enough out the Federal Government's end of NATION/ money to car the new tuberculosis program, secured some favorable publicity for Alaska’s case in the last Time magazine. This is the first national publicity of any event that we've seen on the subject, and it is evident that Doc Albrecht is making himself heard on the subject in Washington. At the recent special session the Legislature ap- propriated $250,000 for the Territory’s share of the program, one of the first times the Territory's been ahead of the Federal government, and some Congress- men were nonplussed to hear this from Albrecht in answer to the stock question: “What's Alaska doing about it?” Let's hope that Congress sees the need for an appropriation for the construction of tuberculosis sana- toriums, or the Territory's $250,000 will seem mighty small, For Price Fact-Finding (New York Times) Qver the week-end Chester Bowles, Director of Economic Stabilization, declared that a recent article in The Saturday Evening Post by Lew Hahg general manager of the National Retail Dry Goods Association, was “packed full” of “misleading statements.” He added that he would try to make the “real facts” public, instead of “the propaganda pumped out by self- seeking groups that want to-discredit, or cripple, or abolish entirely, the stabilization program.” Over the week-end the National Association of Manufacturers, on'the other hand, made public a pamphlet charging the Office of Price Administration with “deliberate and vicious distortions.” This has, unfortunately, become a familiar type of exchange. Yet when it occurs, when manufacturers or. retailers contend that they are selling at a loss, or that OPA regulations are reducing production, while OPA denies this or makes counter-charges, the public finds it difficult to ascertain the truth. Congress might therefore consider advantageously The Washington Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page Ome) | mocracies of the | phere.

The members of such a board ought to be able to give their entire time to price problems and therefore ought not themselves to be Congressmen; but they should be independent of OPA administrators and pr(‘(l’l'_\bly. selected directly by Congress itself. 1 Such a board would be authorized to hear com- plaints from manufacturers or sellers that their prices were being fixed unfairl It would deal, not with legal quetsions, like the existing Emergency Court of Appeals, but purely with questions of fairness, of ecoc- nomic ¢ | s, or of fact. Such a board might be bipartisan, as Congressional committees now are, but it should be composed as far as possible of judicial- minded economic experts. It should have purely fact- finding and recommendatory powers. It should not have the right to suspend or hold up any OPA ruling or decision; but it should have the right to recommend to OPA a change in any policy that it thought unfair or ill-advised, and to make recommendations to Con- gress if OPA ignored its suggestions Its chief function, in shoft, weuld be to clarify the public mind regarding the facts and the merits of | particular price disputes, so that the pubic would be in a better position to know which complaints against OPA price policies were warranted and which were not.

Some argue that pr ess will be faster if all price controls are dropped at once; others think the objective will be reached more quickly by continuing controls for a time. While this debate over ways and& means to stimulite preduction engages the attention | of headline writers, the formidable threat to produc- tion resulting from the coal strike is lost to sight.‘ Tucked away inconspicuously on the inside pages of the newspapers the public may discover that nine days | after John L. Lewis walked out on them the operators have gone home. No date has been set for resump- tion of negotiations with the miners’ representatives. The shutdown of the coal mines has already cost | the Nation three weeks' output. It is now predicted | that the stoppage may last another two weeks or possibly a month. This frightening prospect has at last shaken official optimism and brought a solemn warning from Civilian Production Administrator Snyder that “the Nation’s reconve program is suffering a setback which will steadi ow worse day by day if the coal strike continues.” Scores of plants,” are down because of lack of fuel. Scores more are going down because of a lack of parts, which in turn is a result of other plants going down because of a lack of steel. The steel shortage reflects a shutdown at the steel mills caused by & scarcity of fuel.” Within the next two weeks the! coal-using railroads will also be compelled to curtail | heir services if the strike continues. That, of course, will result in delayed deliveries of raw materials and finished goods to manufacturers and consumers and will further stall productive activities.

P e there is no reason to doubt, sustain the contention hat civilian production has been picking up remark- ibly well in spite of specific shortages of consumer ;0ods. The progress that has been made goes far toward refuting the thesis that price control has put the eountry in an industrial strait jacket permitting »f no growth. However, a good deal of the gain in >utput so far has been in the nature of a tuning up, 50 to speak, in preparation for an outpouring of the autos, refrigerators and other goods for which demand far exceeds supply. The coal strike has already nullified some of these preliminary gains. And if a set- ‘lement is not scon reached, every man, woman and child in the United States will soon have good reasen to mourn the day that John L. Lewis was born.

Peron replied that his Government had the friendliest intentions to- ward Uruguay, and that this was merely a side issue. The main issue, Peron said, was that the United States and Argen- tina must stand firmly together in face of the impending war when both would be allied with the Bri- tish. This seemed to amaze the U. S. envoy, who asked what war Peron referred to. “Why, the war by the U. S. and Great Britain against Russia,” Per- on replied. Peron explained that all his dip- lomatic informatiod indicated such a war was imminent, and that it would be wise for all anti-Bolshe- vik countries to unite and strength- en their friendship. Mr. Cabot, however, denied the possibility of any such war. He told Peron that the only basis of friend- ship between the United States and Ar{vnunn rested in Argentina’s supporting the Chapultepec Agree- ,ment and the other inter-American agreements guaranteeing the au- tenemy and sovereignty of the de- the No. 1 worry of Capitel Hiil R;;ubli:an:.
